The holidays have a way of turning family time into mayhem. Kids are running in every direction, group chats are stacked with half-replies, and grown-ups like you are juggling a dozen moving parts. Verizon gets that, with thoughtful tech that brings families closer while taking a little pressure off parents. For younger kids in the "I want a smartphone!" era, the Verizon Gizmo Watch 3 is the perfect starter gift. It gives them a bit of independence without full-on screen immersion. Parents get real-time location monitoring, the ability to set an easy-to-use SOS/emergency contact, plus control over who they call or text via a parent-approved list. And kids get a smartwatch that feels grown-up (but with no access to social media or random apps). For a limited time , it's $75 off*! Up to $149.99 purchase on service plan req'd. Less $75 promo credit applied over 36 mos.; promo credit ends if eligibility req's are no longer met; 0% APR. Promo credit(s) may not exceed featured device retail price.Offer ends 1/7/26. For the rest of the family, the Verizon Family app (plus the optional Verizon Family Plus upgrade) keeps the whole crew connected. One example: Family Line*, available with Verizon Family Plus, is a shared number that can ring up to five devices at once. It may sound retro, but it saves the day when the school nurse calls, grandparents check in, or travel plans go sideways. That's connection, calm, and cool gifts, all in one ecosystem. However you holiday, Verizon's got you. *Family Line is voice-only and the number can be shared with up to 5 phones on your Family Plus perk. If you opt-in to Family Line, additional taxes, fees, and surcharges will apply and can vary. |
